Finnic (Fennic) may refer to Finnish-similar languages spoken close to the Gulf of Finland, see: Finno-Ugric languages.

Finnic (Fennic) may also refer to the peoples speaking these languages, and their hunter culture (orginally denoting Sami, cf. fenni), traditionally living in Karelia, Ingria, Estonia, Finland, North Scandinavia. Finnic used in this way establish the contrast to the Slavonics, Balts and the Scandinavians (or the Germanic peoples).
